Frequently Asked Questions About Krupuk crackers
What are krupuk crackers made of?
Krupuk crackers are Indonesian-style crackers usually made from starch, often tapioca, with seasonings and sometimes shrimp or fish. The dough is dried into pieces that puff when fried. Recipes vary, so the exact seafood and starch can differ between products.
How do you cook krupuk crackers?
Fry dry, uncooked krupuk crackers in hot oil in small batches; they puff up quickly. Remove them once expanded and crisp, then drain off excess oil. If your pack contains ready-to-eat crackers rather than dried pieces, you do not need to fry them.
Why do krupuk crackers puff up when fried?
Krupuk crackers puff because moisture trapped in the dried, starchy pieces rapidly turns to steam in hot oil. That expansion makes them larger and crisp. Ready-to-eat crackers have already been cooked, so they will not necessarily puff in the same way.
Are krupuk crackers the same as prawn crackers?
Not exactly: prawn crackers are one kind of krupuk, while krupuk is a broader Indonesian cracker category. Some varieties use shrimp, but others use fish or different ingredients. The names are often used interchangeably in shops, even when recipes differ.
Can you eat krupuk crackers without frying them?
Only if the krupuk crackers are sold ready to eat. The thin, hard pieces sold for cooking are dried and meant to be fried before eating; eating them straight from the pack will not give you the usual puffed, crisp cracker.
How do you keep krupuk crackers crispy?
Keep krupuk crackers in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, and close the pack promptly after serving. Humidity makes them lose their crunch. If fried crackers have gone soft, a brief warming may help, but let them cool before sealing them away.
What is the difference between krupuk and emping?
Krupuk is generally made from a starch-based dough, sometimes with seafood, while emping is made from melinjo seeds. Both are Indonesian crackers often served fried, but their ingredients and flavor are different; emping commonly has a distinctive slightly bitter taste.
What do you serve with krupuk crackers?
Krupuk crackers are commonly served alongside Indonesian rice dishes, noodle dishes, and meals with sauces or sambal. Their light crunch contrasts with soft rice and saucy foods. You can also serve them as a snack with a dipping sauce.
Are krupuk crackers healthy?
Krupuk crackers are usually fried, starch-based snacks, so they are better treated as an occasional side than as a nutrient-rich snack. Their crisp texture can make them easy to keep eating; pairing a modest serving with a balanced meal is more satisfying.
Can you cook krupuk crackers in an air fryer?
Air-frying dry krupuk crackers may not make them puff as evenly as deep-frying, which is the traditional method. If you try it, test a small batch and watch closely, since results vary by appliance and cracker. Follow the pack’s cooking directions when available.

What is Krupuk crackers?
Krupuk crackers are Indonesian crackers, commonly made from tapioca starch and sometimes flavoured with shrimp or fish. The mixture is shaped and dried, then usually fried, which makes the crackers puff up into a light, brittle snack.
They have a savoury, sometimes gently seafood-like taste and are eaten on their own or alongside Indonesian meals, where their crunch contrasts with rice and saucy dishes. Elsewhere, they work as a snack or as a crisp accompaniment to a meal. They are mainly a source of carbohydrate and fat, with little protein or fibre, so enjoy a modest portion; serving them with fresh vegetables or a salad can make for a more balanced plate.
